hot tracker

Aloha,GM/Suzuki did a pretty good job of minimizing grill area for the Tracker as it appears in standard form.To reduce it beyond that may require a completely air-tight duct between the grill and radiator so that stagnation pressure doesn't bleed off before the air can get to the radiator.If that passageway is open to the bottom right now,there may be no way to keep it cool.-------------------------------------------------------------- Also,constant steady highway driving is the only place the benefit of a grill-block is going to show up.And if it's raining enough the that the Tracker leaves "tracks" in the wet road,it's too wet for testing.---------------------------------------------------------- I'd make sure you have an air-tight duct before you constrict the passageway.
